Arduino Serial Multiple Bytes

Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • In the, you sent data from one sensor to a personal computer. In this lab, you’ll send data from multiple sensors to a program on a personal computer. You’ll use the data from the sensors to create a pointing-and-selecting device (i.e. These videos will help in understanding this lab: • Video: (Call-and-Response) • Video: • Video: What You’ll Need to Know To get the most out of this Lab, you should be familiar with how to program an Arduino, and with the basics of serial communication. If you’re not, review the links below: • • • Things You’ll Need. For this lab you'll need: solderless breadboard Arduino module 22-AWG hookup wire accelerometer (or two other analog sensors) switch or pushbutton Connect the sensors Connect two analog sensors to analog pins 0 and 1 like you did in the.

Connect a switch to digital pin 2 like you did in the. The photos and schematic in this lab show an accelerometer and a pushbutton. You don’t have to use these, though. Use whatever sensors are appropriate to your final application. While you’re figuring what sensors to use, use the most convenient sensors you’ve got in hand; perhaps two potentiometers for the analog sensors and a pushbutton?

Serial1 on the Arduino Leonardo is hardware serial, not software. There are several ways to read in multiple bytes from Serial. Instead of detecting Serial.available.
